Ikinama Gold Label

My first Hong Kong-made import beer. It has an extremely light taste. So light that I don’t really taste it at all. Might as well classify it as an ultra super light new genre. Drinkable, but there is nothing to enjoy about.

Name: Ikinama Gold Label

Ingredients: Happōshu (corn, malt, hops, caramel color), spirits (wheat)

Alcohol content: 5%

Tax category: New Genre (liquor)

Origin: Hong Kong

Note: Sold at Sugita liquor shops. Can size 330ml.

Ikinama Super Fine

Most store-brand as well as no-brand beers are from Korea; however, this one is from Thailand. Has a light, typical imported new genre taste. The only good thing about this brew is that it doesn’t have a repulsive taste like some of the Korean imports.

Ikinama Beer

I was really having trouble finishing this one. It is just way too bitter. Not in a pilsner way, but in a Japanese cold medicine type of way. I’m staying away from this one for sure.
